Something I found interesting

An interesting way to find out if you are carrying too much fat.
Get string. Put one ond under your heel and pull up to the top of your head.
Cut string and fold in half.
This should meet when put around your waist.

I just about did it comfortably! I'm very much straight up and down at the sides so I was pleased. I'd like to shift another half stone, but I can live with things at present.

The scales I have at home measure the fat and tell me on a scale the level of my fatness. The only thing it doesn't do, is say "Get off you fat bastard"!

At least you are tall. I'm little and every extra pound shows! Still trying to get back to what I was on my wedding day. I'm not too bad, but my exercise is slowing to a crawl, so it's hard to lose more weight.

I replaced my soundbar t'other day (the JVC one was acting oddly - missing off the first fraction of a second in certain circumstances. Odd) and the new one (Sony) comes, as always, with a remote control. However...

...it's the only one, of the loads I've had over the years, that will stand on end! All the others are rounded or 'sculpted' in some way.

A week ago, they had their first try. But it was over full. So they refused it and only took the smaller one he had hired since my first pic. This time he had a second smaller one for the overflow and all went well.

You are probably aware that we have an eclectic taste in art. These are our latest acquisitions made from broken Toby jugs. They are quite heavy, fairly big and tbh quite horrible but we found them interesting enough to buy!

Having a browse around the shops, I was at a bit of a loose end, I came across an elephant. As you know, I collect elephants (why are they always female African ones?) so I bought it. And her friend, the oversized gorilla.

What interested me is the fact that they have to wire the animals into their cardboard display case. Presumably to stop them being extracted too soon. You know, before they are paid for, ie by shoplifters. In Poundland?

I've often wondered how ften that happens, because if you've paid for a skip, you ram it as full as you can.
